Would get a pay increase. We would actually see the poverty rate among working women almost cut in half. Reporter what needs to change . She says obstacles within the workplace. In the united states, we do not have paid sick days. Family leave. Theres a real lack of access to affordable child care, to affordable and comprehensive healthcare and all of those issues make it harder for women to participate in the workforce. Reporter income inequality has been a leading issue among the 2016 president ial candidates and is sure to be brought up in the upcoming debates. In midtown manhattan, im liz dahlem. Ernie thank you for that. Lets talk about this very important subject. Joining me is this is an important subject. A lot of women and men that dont understand this whole thing. We need to make some changes here. What steps are you recommending . What can we do . First of all, were talking about it. This is key. A lot of people still dont know that women are making less than men. Ernie thats true. After all these years. So theres a couple of things. First of all, social media is a great thing, right . Ernie yes. There are apps that can tell you what you should be paid at certain jobs. Ernie thats a great idea. You have a couple of them. Equal pay app challenge. It tells you where to go and what to ask for. Right. Arming yourself with knowledge is good. Thats not enough. Because there have been repeated efforts in congress to get something through called the paycheck fairness act. Ernie that was signed by the president. And that involves some federal contractors. For the rest of the world, theres still not a way to enforce a pay gap, right . Its very subjective. A hiring manager can say youre worth this. And this guy next to you might be making more. So its tragic were still talking about it. Its tragic nothing has gotten done about it. But one interesting note, the paycheck fairness act was sponsored by hillary clinton. So it could be an issue we hear more about. Ernie we must mentioned that. It could be a hot button issue. We hope so coming up in 2016, the president ial campaign. Do you expect that to be something that may make a difference . Theres been a lot of talk about income inequality in general. Weve seen conversations on other levels. Minimum wage, for instance. One would hope it is something thats talked about. Were not going to be talking about healthcare. Heres the other equation. What do we do in terms of improves peoples Living Standards . Ernie where are the best and the worst places for equality . New york is not the worst. Thats good. Were better than average. On average, its 78 . In new york, its 86 , a little bit higher than average. D. C. Is the best. 91 percent. Thats what women get paid compared to men. Ernie any reason for that explanation . There is a hard to come up with a good reason just like theres hard to come up with a reason for why this exists at all. The worst state we can tell you is louisiana. Ernie louisiana. 66 . Ernie not good. Not at all. Ernie what should people do . Talk to lawmakers . Push for this . Education . This is what were trying to do here. How do we make changes . This is the tough issue. Stand up for yourself. Women need to do that. Its not just about women. Its about families. Women in many cases are the primary wage earner. So this isnt just a womans issue. Talking about it is good. Lets look at how the power of social media can really change things. If a dialogue starts and a momentum builds, it might help in washington to have somebody listen. Ernie we hope so. Youve given us a lot of good information and things to think about. Come back soon and well have some positive news. Thank you for joining us today. Lets talk about some of the other things were looking at in the news happening right now. Three people have died. 57 have become sick after legionnaires disease outbreak in the bronx. Investigators say that they have found the bacteria at water cooling towers at lincoln hospital. The concourse plaza mall and the opera house hotel. But still no word if theyre linked to the outbreak. Doctors insist the general public is not at risk. Its people who are older, who smoke, with chronic medical illnesses, theyre the most at risk. Ernie Health Officials urge anyone with fever, coughs and chills to get medical treatment immediately. Immediately. You left her in the car. No sorry. She could have died ernie there you go. That was the scene at the costco parking lot in hackensack on tuesday after police rescued a twoyearold boy from a sweltering minivan. The child was left in the vehicle while his mother shopped. Cops were able to rescue the boy who was drenched in sweat. I went to the hospital with the child. He was perfectly fine, happy, polite. The cutest little boy. That was the best thing of the whole thing. Ernie the boy was treated and released into the custody of his father. His mother was charged with child endangerment and released on her own recognizance. The Growth Centers are planned for monroe, fulton and warren counties. Each will operate four dispensaries. Four in new york city, four in suburbs and the rest will be scattered throughout the state.

Check out this long island mans solution, parking his 24foot cessna airplane in his driveway. The oceanside man says due to health reasons, he can no longer fly and cant afford to pay 150 a month to store the plane. Neighbors in the town arent happy about this. The 69yearold says he doesnt have many options. Im being crucified. I cant afford 150 a month. Im 69 years old. What can i do . Ernie harold has received several tickets and has hired a lawyer to help him. He says some of his neighbors are supportive of that. Nick is joining us now. Youre a pilot. You even teach flight instruction. What do you make of this . Nick its a tough story. Hes lost his medical certificate. Then you cant act as a pilot in command of an aircraft. You can fly in the passenger seat with an instructor or an instructor next to you. Ernie hes got a passion for it. You feel bad for him. Nick i suppose it depends on the town whether they allow that. People leave boats in their driveways. Kind of the same thing, i guess. Always something. Thats a cessna 152. Thats the type i learned to fly in. 30something years ago. Ernie you should take a look at it. Nick a fun plane. Ernie might get a good deal. Nick ive got College Tuitions to pay. Thats where my money is going. Ernie ill put the money on the nick a good bet. Weather. The humidity was down. 89, 72. A little above average, but the humidity made it more tolerable. 102 the record high. And 57 the record low. Neither one of those coming anytime soon.

Were in the 50s now. Its not bad at all. That gives us humidity in the 28 to 35 percent range. Much more comfortable. That will stay that way tonight thanks to the northwest wind. That will become westerly tomorrow. Right now fox 5 sky guardian not showing any rain. Wont show much tomorrow, although well have to watch the western and northern suburbs. See this disturbance causing a couple of showers and thundershowers there. Theres a weak cool front coming through. It might kick a shower or thundershower poconos to the catskills, maybe brushing north jersey. Dont think it will be much and i dont think it will get to the city or coast. It will be a fine day. Sunshine, some clouds. 60s in the suburbs. 84 at lunchtime. Well hit 90 tomorrow afternoon again with the westerly becoming southwesterly wind in the afternoon. You can see the storms firing to the north and west. They then just disappear. Sunday, bright and sunny. High 80s. And low humidity. Really nice to enjoy that.

Reporter a couple of months ago, this 18yearold joined the coast guard. I was surprised they were going to the university of nebraskalincoln and watching football games.

Reporter the eagle docked in new york friday at pier 5 to allow civilians on shore to tour the vessel and the officers, cadets and swabs to tour the city. The statue of liberty and central park and get some nice food. Reporter he joined the coast guard the eagle joined the coast guard after the world war ii. Since then, the eagle served vessel. Being on watch from 12 to 4 00 and seeing whales in the atlantic was just a great experience. Reporter when she graduates, on drug missions.
